It's literally not. The attempts to pass rezoning laws are moving up (e.g. SB 827) to the state level now because all local attempts are failing. Every time someone tries to build up outside of SOMA it fails and people cry about the NIMBYs. But NIMBY in almost all these cases is just another word for local resident. Just a few weeks ago a group called Mission YIMBY was advocating for rezoning the Sunset and Richmond. Like, how obtuse can you be?
- peacetreefrog 8y agoI'm not talking about who sets the zoning laws, I'm talking about who makes decisions re: a particular property. If you're into local control and people close to the ground making decisions, no one is closer and should know better than the literal property owner. If kicking zoning laws up to the state level helps empower property owners than it absolutely is giving more local control.
- themagician 8y agoPeople who own property can't do whatever they want with it. That's true everywhere. This is 100% about zoning laws. About what can be done with a particular piece of property and what can (and can not) be built.
